I am thankful for...

Since it is the time for giving thanks I thought it would be a good idea to list some of the things I am most thankful for

  1. My family - Rich, Isaac, Merrill, Andy & Baby
  2. The Gospel and all the ways it has blessed my life
  3. My Sister in Laws who come by or call just to see how things are going
  4. My home and the safety and protection it gives to me and my family
  5. Good food that helps when comfort is needed and can't be gotten any other way
  6. Hot Chocolate
  7. Slippers - it's difficult to be happy when your feet are freezing
  8. When my children say your the best mommy in the world
  9. Tiny hands that fit perfectly into yours
  10. Snuggle time with my kids - I love cheek to cheek
  11. All the food I am going to get to eat tonight (hard to think of anything else when all I can smell is turkey)
  12. Living in Canada where there is so much abundance
  13. TV and all the ways it helps to pass the time when I am bored
  14. Cars - any transportation really
  15. Sunlight - there's getting to be less and less of it.
  16. Fruit - especially nectarines....
  17. Comfortable chairs - which are getting harder to find the further along I get
  18. People who pixie us - leaving yummy treats that I didn't have to bake myself
  19. Wii - it really is a wonderful way to entertain the boys
  20. Computers & Internet - it's the only way people communicate these days
  21. Friends that are talented and don't mind sharing their talent with me
  22. Chocolate cake
  23. Cameras
  24. Flowers
  25. Cool nights
  26. Tums (at least for the next 6 weeks or so)
  27. Brothers and Sisters serving missions that send us letters every month
  28. Teachers - they put so much effort and love into their jobs and it only benefits our children
  29. Good recipes and friends who share them
  30. Crayons
I will have to continue this later - I am needed by those children I am most thankful for

Haha!! It's ironic that the things we are most grateful for are the things that need us to be constantly working for them. What a great list!! I hear you in all the family and pregnancy things. Good luck with the upcoming weeks.
